regions new approaches to the garbage problem are fast becoming a ne cessity the recent production of rip van beanie written and pro duced by steve payne and per formed by the little league theatre helped bring the prob lem into the limelight in an origin al and thoughtprovoking way it was entertainingly pre sented but its message was clear and concise we must cut down on our waste and we must recycle not today not tomorrow but now mr doug hickman president of the recycling club is cautiously optimistic about the future the town did a recycling feasi bility study in 1986 which esti mated that the cost of a curbside program would not exceed 2 per person per year which is very low he said the way the town is proceeding we hope to see it introduced on october 1 this year according to mr hickman metro officials now project that all their landfill sites will be full by 1993 we depend on these sites and that only enhances the need to start this program as soon as possible he said the curbside pickup would allow for the disposal of glass jars bottles cans and newspap ers while cardboard would still be processed at the local dump mr hickman praised durham region for its foresight in

reduction in disposable pro- duets as approaches to be consir dered mr sanders said recycl ing is a major one because ijs something everybody can get in volved with and do something at out when people take part they start to reduce the amount of waste material they use although incineration is another possibility mr sanderjs mentioned the problem of air pollution y one idea is to use incinerator in heating plants he stated that would mean the plarits would have to be where there is a high density population so the best technology would have to be used to reduce the risk of pollu tion mr sanders confirmed that the town hoped to start curbside pick ups in the fall we will be cooperating with richmond hill using their facili ties for processing after collec tion he praised the little league theatres production it told tke story of what is really happening people say they dont have time to think about it and now suddenly we have to do something to illustrate scenes from the stories ted constructed polys tyrene models of a car the sun and puddleman himself as well as a gigantic peanut butter sand wich the sandwich he revealed once had a bite taken out of it by a fascinated little girl in a jr kin dergarten class between stories he had his young audience on their feet playing games of makebelieve pretending to run up and down stairs to hide in their bedroonis shouting loud boos at unsuspect ing parents despite the frenzied activity he managed to avoid even a sugges tion of the mayhem one would ex pect from such an ambitious program jg at the conclusion of his enter tainment he asked his young qu- dience if they had any questions if he had any fears the children would be too shy to speak they were soon dispelled as a forestof hands shot up there were questions on how long it took to write a book h6w long it took to get it published alid who drew the pictures j he patiently explained the pro cess of getting one of his booj from the written stage to public tion and when asked which boolj was his favorite he told the audi ence my favorite book is always the one im working on i when questioned about books by other authors ted mentioneq charlottes web and huckleberry finn j i get my ideas from reading other peoples books from re membering things that happendd to me at a certain age and from asking people for their ideas he explained following his presentation tp
